What Are Vinyl Food Truck Wraps?
For food truck operators, the design on the outside of the vehicle is essential to running a successful business. Your truck needs to detail the name of your business, what you sell, contact information and any other important details. The more you include, the better your chances of making sales will be. Get your business information across and brand your company. Your truck needs a logo and colors that stand out, making it noticeable and recognizable from a mile away.
Vinyl vehicle wraps are the perfect way to create a bold full-truck design. They consist of large printed panels of vinyl, which you can fully customize. You can include all the colors, graphics, text and designs you want. Once you have a design ready, an imaging company can print it onto the large vinyl sheets. Then, you can apply the printed panels to the outside of your vehicle.
Unlike a new paint job, vinyl wraps can achieve clarity and detail, even with lots of text, large images and background patterns. To use paint, it would take multiple layers of color, a painstaking amount of time to lay out the details and drying time in-between applications. And with all that effort and patience, you still would be limited in your design options. You’ll have none of those hassles with vinyl wrapping and can achieve almost any design scheme.

BENEFITS OF FOOD TRUCK WRAPS
What is the value in wrapping your food truck? Vehicle graphics have a wide range of benefits, and our team can ensure quality commercial wraps for you and your business. Here are a few benefits of wrapping your full size van!
One vehicle wrap can generate between 30,000-80,000 impressions daily.
A food truck’s design is its best advertisement, reaching diverse demographics wherever it goes. Full vehicle wraps can attract attention even when the truck isn’t serving, making it an efficient marketing tool. A creative design might even turn your truck into a social media photo op, boosting brand exposure through organic posts and contests.
One of the biggest expenses in the food truck industry is maintaining the vehicle itself. Beyond just stocking ingredients, you must keep your truck in top condition. Over time, rust, scratches, and other damage can harm your truck’s appearance and structure. A vinyl wrap not only brands your truck but also protects it from surface damage, preserving its value and appeal.
When it’s time to update your food truck’s design, efficiency is key. Repainting can be costly and time-consuming, leading to downtime and potential revenue loss. Vinyl wraps, however, are quick to remove and replace, allowing for fast updates without harming your truck’s finish. This flexibility helps you stay current and maximize your time on the road.

What to Include in a Food Truck Wrap Design
Whether you opt for full or partial coverage, the most crucial part of the vinyl wrap is the design. You need to both appeal to your target audience and let them know what you’re selling. At a glance, potential customers will judge your truck by the exterior and decide if they want to check out your menu.
While the possibilities are nearly endless, food truck wraps should include a few key elements:
If you want to stand out from other cars and trucks, you should use bright colors throughout your design. You can make important details, such as your logo or name, more striking by using contrasting colors from the background.
Before you create a look for your truck, you need to decide on a style. It can be casual, formal, playful or whatever fits your business. If you’re serving a certain type of regional food, you can either portray it as authentic or modern. For example, a French-inspired bakery food truck might lean more towards a classy, authentic look, while one serving fresh seafood might opt for a brighter, more casual appearance. Settling on the attitude you’re trying to convey before designing will help you make decisions and keep it cohesive.
Include your logo, and make sure it’s large and bold enough to see from a distance. Placing it on either side of the truck and the back will provide the best visibility possible. You want customers and onlookers to remember your logo and business name more than anything else.
Including your phone number, email, website or any social media pages on your truck is a must. Customers should have a way to contact you, find your business and follow you on social apps. Your business will also seem more trustworthy and well established if you have a strong online presence.
Using patterns can create a unique appearance. A pattern can consist of anything from bold lines to stylized images. Whatever you choose, it should match the theme of your menu. For example, if a food truck is selling seasonal summer items, it makes sense to include patterns like brightly colored stripes or alternating images of suns, flip-flops and other hot-weather items around the sides.
While it isn’t an essential part of your design, having a point of interest can be a benefit to your business. It could be a creative sign, truck mascot or image that encourages customers to take photos. If you have a display worth sharing on social media or with friends, you’ll get an organic advertising boost and create a memorable experience.
